and was in the act Of handing it to him, when
the revolver self-cocking one, caught in the
folds of her wrap and was discharged. The
bullet entered Miss Sharp's heart, and she fell
to the floor dead. The report of the pistol at

The HERALD did not say the proposed
amendment would not prohibit the
manufacture and sale of wine and

would not prohibit that which is NOT
INTOXICATING. The amendment aims
only at intoxicating liquors, and the
Examiner knows as well as any one

hibited. Tote fair, Barlow; the truth

GOVERNOR Ross is perhaps the first
and only southern governor who has
appointed ladies to the position OF
notary public. Had this been done in
Kansas or Iowa or Maine, the ants
would have used it as big campaign
argument against prohibition, as a
step toward woman suffrage but un-
fortunate for the ants who are go
badly in need of campaign thunder,
it comes from a governor on their
own side. THE HERALD heartily ap-
proves this new departure of Gov.
Ross. Ladies who have to earn their
own living should be given every pub
lie clerical position the duties of
which they are as we'll suited and
capable OF discharging as notary
public.

The HERALD having said that il
would expect the State authorities to
take steps to detect and punish the
San Antonio egg throwers, would say
now that it is confident they would
have done so but for the fact that the
outrage was committed on q Federal
reservation and beyond the authority
of the State. However, Mr.. Brooker,
of San Antonio, has put the United
States authorities on the track, by
making affidavit against the mayor.
chief of police and four or five others,
charging them with being principals
and aocomplices in the disturbance.
The accused are now each under a
500 bond. If sufficient evidence can
be found to prove their guilt they
win no doubt be properly punished.

SOME of the good friends of the
HERALD among the ants do not like
some of its cartoons or endorse all it's
utterances ON prohibition. We do not
regard this as matter of surprise, or
Just cause for offense, nor do we expect
the differences in opinion to sever
friendly ties. This paper claims friends
only among good men and the better
class of papers, and certainly nothing
the HERALD can say in Genouncing
fraud and outrageous methods can
offend any OF them. Even The more
respectable whisky seller need not
take offense at this paper, except so
far as our policy would injure him in
a pecuniary sense, for it is the whisky
sold and not the seller we would pro-
hibit- exclude from the State. The
HERALD will take the liberty of sug-
costing in this connection that even
the liquor seller need not feel that
he is much injured. Any one of them
who possesses energy and proper am
bition can succeed in other lines of
business as well as other men, and
they and theirs would certainly be
better off for the change.

HERNDoN AND MILLS.

Herndon utterly demolished Col
Mills at Tyler on the 7tb, and it was
possibly this severe and keen castiga-
ton which made Mills feel indisposed
to divide time with Culberson at
Greenville few DAYS later.
Herndon propounded some intero-
gatories to Mills, of which the follow
ing is a sample:
2. Does the proposed amendment deny the
right to any man In Texas to raise grapes,
make WINE therefrom, and use that wine or
give 1t away? VIII Col. Mills, as a lawyer
and statesman, give such construction to
the amendment, that 1t will deny and pro-
hibit the people from growing grapes, max
ing wine, using wine and giving away wine 7
3. II the liquor traffic, as carried on in
saloons in this State, and against which the
amendment is leveled, good thingl As an
institution Is 1t goods Is 1t such business
as ought 10 be made permanent, fostered
and expanded
4. Is the liquor traffic in this State proper
subject of taxation to raise revenue to oper-
ate the government Ought the State TO
lend its power and influence In building up
and protecting a business by the strong arm
Of the law which is condemned by the NOR
al sentiment of the great body of the people
as well as by enlightened public opinion, Tor
the exclusive purpose OF gathering revenue
from 1t to support the government
B. III the amendment Is adopted, you say
II will not prohibit. II 1t will not. who will
combine TO defeat the operation Of the lawy
Will not the country be justified in holding
the people favoring The liquor traffic respon-
sible for its failure of executiony
1t is entirely needless to say that
Col. Mills in his rejoinder, made no
effort to ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.
He could not do it except in the mega
tive, which, of course, would have
ruined his cause and showed the fall
lacy and sophisty of the snti argu-
ments. The Tyler Democrat-Repor-
ter says that Col. Iferndon, in his re-
ply to Mills shrewd evasion, turn.
ed to him time and again, and with
"all the power of words that chal-
lenge" defed him to answer, but
there was none. In reply to Col.
Mills statement that prohibition was
an exotic plant in Texas, starting in
Maine, finding its way here through
Kansas, and was not welcome visitor
in Texas, Col. Herndon said that pro-
was born on southern soil,
and If not native of Texas found its |
way here long before Kansas was a
state, and in proof of this last position
read a strong prohibition platform
lated Corsicana in 1885, and signed
by Roger @. Mills. This "was shot
amid ships" says the Democrat-Rc-
porter, "and no pen can describe the
scene which followed the reading of
The platform" as Col. Mills name was
read among the signatures. Feet,
hands, mouth, chairs, canes and every
hing that could make noise was
brought into requisition, and Col.
Mills vainly endeavered to extricate
himself by personal attack on Col.
1erndon's record. But Mills was
lowned, and it is no wonder he re-
used to divide time with another
